Great news. Might finally be able to delete skype! I really have to wonder why it took them so long though.

Now you are just relabeling stuff like communication skills as culture fit. How you used 'diversity' to mean fitting into a culture is beyond me. 'We have a diverse culture, everyone better fit in, or else'!!!

Wait, so all we need to do is have all companies fire their employees and everyone on earth will then find happiness? So simple.

It can also nicely hide ageism, racism, sexism, conservatism, liberalism etc. Basically any reason to not like a person.

'Brown people' hospitals will just raise prices if they know patients have 'white people' funds. So this has the potential to make medical care inaccessible to those not having 'proper connections' to 'white people'.

So a woman who is not a feminist is actually a feminist. Have fun with your redefinitions. Time for me to step out of this while I still can with my sanity.

Feel free to enlighten us. Men everywhere await with bated breaths.

Marissa Mayer is apparently famous for not being a feminist and for wearing Oscar De La Renta outfits in the midst of nerds. The subject of your defense disagrees with you. Pointless effort.

The dollar numbers being talked about in the article are kind of stunning, for a website that dropped off my radar more than a decade ago. Who are all these people with all that much money and where are they getting it from??

When you tie my compensation to me having provably lousy coworkers, guess what happens.

I'm pretty much at the same point of refusing to do any actual coding on an interview and for pretty much the same reasons. Really like the option of an offline code test followed by discussion of the solutions or a small contract. But it's pretty rare for companies to actually do this, since nearly everyone now follows Google's model.

Easy solution to that is to discuss the work/code in the interview.

Looks like a broader version of the 7 Cups of Tea service. Weird how these things come out nearly at the same time.

If that's the only kind of people they hire, where the heck do these kind of interviewers come from?
